Feb is snow month, if we get snow. Every year all the snowfall for that year comes in feb/some late Jan. The biggest thing is that I plan any flights in Feb with flexibility for cancellation. Don't get yourself a 9pm flight the day before you have to be back at work. I've been at TF green in feb with every flight grounded and you don't want to be stuck like that.

Also, New England has this made up thing called Feb break, so some of the schools might be on a vacation in both MA/RI if you come that week. It might also increase flights/hotels/etc. Locals might not know that this bizarre observance isn't a thing in MI (or like 45 other states) and might fail to mention it.

Completely made up. I have actually no idea why it exists other than maybe to balance out a very late spring break. It actually makes this a very cheap time to distance travel for families other than maybe local flights, if you are willing to risk the snow, because no one else is on break.

Schools in upstate NY have mid winter vacation in Feb too.
